How we can implement the video streaming

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

you'll need some form of streaming server for actual live video.. for web cams, you'll need a camera that can ftp the image or has the image fetchable through a variety of means (ftp, telnet, whatever)

I prefer quicktime over real 100% of the time. But having the ability to do both, or even all three (wmp) would be better.
